Exactly 1,075 lb.-ft. of torque is generated by the new High-Output turbo diesel. This massive powertrain update makes comparing heavy-duty trucks critical for local Jackson County drivers. Review our head-to-head truck comparison below before viewing our local inventory in person.

Choosing the right industrial-grade workhorse requires scrutinizing the exact mechanical differences between the segment's heaviest hitters. Both of these iconic trucks offer immense power, but they take fundamentally different approaches to cabin technology, ride comfort, and daily utility.

Ride Quality and Suspension Dynamics

Heavy-duty trucks are historically known for having stiff, punishing rides when the bed is empty. The Ford F-250 relies on a traditional rear leaf-spring suspension setup. While highly capable for raw payload, it creates a bouncy, rigid ride during unladen daily commutes down Highway 71.

Ram takes a far more advanced approach. It offers a class-exclusive Auto-Level Rear Air Suspension system. This technology automatically adjusts the air pressure to keep your payload perfectly balanced when hauling heavy seed or agricultural equipment. More importantly, when the truck bed is empty, the air suspension provides a remarkably smooth, SUV-like ride quality that traditional leaf springs simply cannot match.

Cabin Technology and Interior Luxury

The interior is where the Ram completely eclipses the Ford Super Duty. While the F-250 features a functional cabin and standard center screens, the newest Ram heavy-duty platform essentially functions as a high-tech mobile office.

Ram introduces an available, largest-in-class 14.5-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen, offering more digital real estate than Ford's system. Furthermore, it introduces a class-exclusive 10.25-inch interactive display explicitly for the front passenger. This allows your co-pilot to manage navigation or entertainment without interrupting the driver's primary displays. Paired with active noise cancellation technology, the Ram cabin remains whisper-quiet, isolating you from the roar of the diesel engine while towing massive fifth-wheel RVs down I-90. You can explore these exclusive interior features directly on the official Ram vehicle portal.
